Recent statistical reports Tx the
average duration of life for the differ
ent vocations as follows, viz:
Thirty-two years for day iaborers
and job workiDgmen.
Forty-one years for stone cutters,
sculptors, compositors and htho-
graphers.
Forty-four years for shoemakers
and tailors.
Forty.seven years for locksmiths,
blacksmiths and joiners.
Forty-nine years for carpenters,
masons and house painters.
Fifty-four years for bakers, beer
brewers and butchers.
Fifty eight years for gardeners, sail
ors and fishermen.
The occupations in the open air
have evidently the advantage on their
side. The agerara for professional
men shows on the 9hole somewhat
more encouraging result, namely:
Forty-nine years fer physicians.

CHAPTER II


THREE LETTE RS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES.
On the day before Colonel Lyndon
projected departure from London ne found
no less than three letters on his study table.
The first which he opened was in the firm,
somewhat masculine, hand of his friend
Lady Flora WinstanleY. 1t ran as follows:

THE discriminating preference OF
travellers is of course a compliment
not to be despised. The Chevalier c..
Eugene Wolf, who has attained noto-
riety as an explorer with Stanley in
the jungles of Africa, spent few days
in Los Angeles the other day, en- route
to Australia. He was SO much at
tracted by spot at, Oak Knoll, near
Pasadena, that he instantly bought it
for $4,000, alleging that he had been
all over the world, and that it was his
ideal OF a home. As is the wont
hereabouts, he was offered $4,000 fol
his bargain, but declined the proffer
saying that it was for sale at no price
No man can resist his destiny. Vol

But, fortunately, it is not all. With a
wise abstinence, the people of this
country declined to ratify that pro-
vision of the Congress of Paris which
made privateering piracy, although
most persuasively invited to do SO.
Within twenty-four hours of the de-
claration of war by any European
country against the United States,
there would be hundreds of letters of
marque issued against the country
inviting such reprisals. Were
England the adversary, with
its rich argosies fretting the seas OF
the world, the instant damage would
mean annihilation to her commerce.
This is really the reason why we
have not long ago had war with that
race compounded of Hengist and Horsa
and William the Norman, whose only
reliable impulse is spoil and conquest.
With the inventive and constructive
genius of the American people there
would soon be superadded to our
equipment engineries of aggression
heretofore undreamt of. The opening
stages of the struggle would be proba-
bly, decisively in favor of England, the
closing ones disastrously against her.
Britannia would soon realize, to her
bitter disgruntlement, that she has
had far too many irons in the fire.
Waving all theoretical and specula-
tive views of our relations with foreign
powers, the composure and dignity OF
the premier Republic of the world
call for the creation Of a strong and
serviceable navy and for the erection
of commensurate defensive works at
all our leading ports.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-08-11

THERE is strong feeling in this city
that some show should be made o.
the municipal improvements that
have been so loudly vaunted for years
Why should not a city SO exception
ally prosperous as Los Angeles have
streets and sewers? Why, should she
not have city buildings that would be
credit to her amongst the cities O
the coast ?It To descend from great
matters to small, why should her Of
fensive streets be cleaned at midday
with the consequent diffusion of more
than the Cologne compound of smells

THE people of California note with
grief and concern that Governor Bart.

According to the telegraphic advices
he is almost IN ertremis. We heartily
hope that these accounts are exagger'
ated. and that our patriotic and useful
fellow-citizen and Chief Executive will
be spared to execute his important

Every man or woman who purchased stock
in the companies.who are selling the Wolf
skill, Porter, Providencia, and other large
ranches, will acknowledge that they never
made better or safer Investments. The de
mand for good land is so great that all large
ranches that are bought at any reasonable
price, will certainly bring to the purchaser
an immense return on their investmest. The
same enterprising gentlemen who are so sue
cessfully managing the ranches above men
toned, have been fortunate enough to secure
$4,000 acres of the best land in the famous
Lankershim Ranch in the San Fernando Val
ley, only eight miles from Los Angeles.
The syndicate who purchased this fine
property, are about to form a company to
own, and subdivide, and sell this 10000

the stock at 800 per share on very easy
